Share

Startup accelerator 9Mile Labs received about 100 applicants for its first class and selected nine cloud-based companies working on a range of problems from healthcare to content publishing to employee giving.

The initial cohort in the Seattle area’s newest business-to-business focused accelerator begins a three-month run April 8.

In exchange for a 4-8 percent equity stake, the startups receive a $20,000 investment and work space in the SURF Incubator, and access to nearly 70 mentors 9Mile has recruited from the ranks of Microsoft, local venture capital firms including Ignition Partners and Madrona Venture Group, and a wide range of other technology companies, and service providers large and small.

The companies will pitch to potential investors at 9Mile’s first Demo Day, scheduled for June 27.

Here are the nine participating startups, with descriptions of their business taken from 9Mile’s release and their Web sites, where available:
